Current Chrome Plating Prices

[SIGNGUY]

I too have used speed and sport and I think the work was top notch.. but they should change the name to Speed , SPort and Spendy!... they charged me 240 to chrome the trim that goes around the glass on a U select it machine!! wow... I about fell off my chair,, but again he did it and told me the amount later. wow..

I'm hoping we Erics process is just as great as i've heard , and if so.. Eric.. we'll make you a rich man,, granted hopefully in smaller increments, but still get you some good business!!!

      The last batch of chrome I sent to Speed & Sport was 3 small door coin bezels, 6 crank handles, 6 bottle openers and 3 coin return bezels. I used to think there was a price break for multiple items done all at the same time.     
      Then after 6 weeks,Craig called me and said my order had already been shipped and he wanted $1300.00. No check, money order only

WOW !!

Thanks for the input everyone ! ! !

I get the pieces tomorrow and then I can see how the workmanship is on the lettering...

I definitely would have sent the pieces to Eric had I paid attention about his new process...
The large Vendo Coin Changer bezel needed a minor repair so I would have just sent these two parts to Speed & Sport...
Oh well, live and learn...

Ha, If I wanted to be a rich man...I would have just won the lottery instead...

Guys, look....

I can't stress enough...I'M NEW AT THIS!!!!!  I can't be compared to Speed and Sport or anyone else,
who does plating. You want to compare compressor work??? I'll go up against ANYONE...but, this
is different and new, so it will take time. All I can guarantee, I'll do the best I can, and NOT take you
to the "cleaners".  I didn't learn compressors overnight...I didn't learn to be a sheet metal mechanic in
a week...welding, plasma cutting, in a month... and this won't be instant either. I like learning new things, and
I will strive to be the best I can be, at this too. I've got the "basics" and has taken over a year now, it's just experience from here on.

So, I hope this makes some sense. If you want "perfect" show chrome, don't give up on Speed and Sport. I'm aware of their reputation...they do great work. But, if you want a decent job, knowing that every single piece I do, is helping others who will benefit down the road, keep sending the work my way. As long as everyone is interested
in this new venture...I'll keep working hard and doing the best I can...it's an education!

Spoken with honesty and sincerity Eric!
A lot of expenses seem to be rising nowadays....shipping has gone up.....groceries have gone up....gas is up....services are not much different, especially when the EPA is involved.

[Creighton]

Thanks for making the effort Eric!! EPA and fed. regs have shutdown 3 companies I used for my biz.
Hope all goes well.

I can say that after recieving my order back from Eric, I am very pleased.  He is very honest and straight forward, and I think he understates his ability, but I certainly respect that.  I haven't used any other plater so I have no basis for comparison, but I think it is safe to say that if you are doing a machine for your own use, you cannot go wrong with Eric.  I would love to hear feedback from some of the guys who restore machines professionally for resale.

We send bike parts off pretty regular.  We have been using Browns Plating in Kentucky.  They did a coin changer bezel for me a while back and it was perfect.  The best thing about them is the turn around time 7 - 10 days.  

I do plan on using Eric's services for some stuff I need on some other projects.  

I have used other platers all over the country and Speed and Sport is mentioned often.  I can't get over why they won't take credit cards.  It is 2011.  My 7 year old could set up a credit card merchant if he needed to.
